奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导
"With my capital of eighty dollars, I began to attend the village high school, to get my preparation for college. I had only one year to do it in. My money would not last longer than that. I recited in Latin, Greek, and algebra, all on the same day, and for the next forty weeks I studied harder than I ever had before or have since. At the end of the year I entered the competitive examination for a scholarship in Prince of Wales College, at Charlottetown, on the Island. I had small hope of winning it, my preparation had been so hasty and incomplete. But when the result was announced, I found that I had not only won the scholarship from my county, but stood first of all the competitors on the Island.

白话
他带着八十美元进乡村高中，为考大学做准备，只有一年时间，因为钱撑不过一年。他同一天要背拉丁语、希腊语和代数，接下来四十周比此前此后都更用功。年底他参加夏洛特敦威尔士亲王学院的竞争性考试，自认准备仓促、希望不大。结果公布，他不仅拿下本县的奖学金，还在全岛考生中排第一。核心是：时间紧、底子薄时，靠高强度专注和倒排计划也能突围。
